07.19.13Barry Pollack is quoted regarding The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decision to require New York Times reporter James Risen to say whether Pollack's client, ex-CIA official Jeffrey Sterling, was his source for confidential information, and striking two of the government's witnesses as a sanction for failing to make timely disclosure of impeachment material. “I was pleased to see that a majority of the court recognized that the government's case against Mr. Sterling is a weak one," Pollack said, adding, “I was disappointed that the court overturned the district court's sanctions.”
